RELATED INFO

Museums

Byanesfield Estate is home to a broad spectrum of interesting
Museum Exhibitions. Joseph Baynes House has recently undergone
extensive renovations in order to create the perfect example of a
Late Victorian Home. Visitors will experience the technologie that
dominated the era, as well as explore the histories, discoveries
and inventions of many of the early settler families of the
area.

The Butter Factory is still fitted with the original machinery
installed by Joseph Baynes when it was constructed in 1898. Josephs
commitment to developing a solid agricultural economy in South
Africa cannot be missed through his actions and the legacy he has
left behind.

The Old Cheese Factory Houses arguably the most extensive
collection of Sewing machines in South Africa & now explores
the development of sewing from pre-historic times, to present.

Sharing the Beautiful Gardens of the Estate is the Natal Vintage
Tractor and Machinery Club. Tractors and Machinery spanning over a
Century and a half are on Display and are 'fired up' for our fairs
and festivals, as advertised.

Joseph Baynes' original homestead now houses our Woodcrafters,
Blacksmith/Farrier, the old trading store and wireless shack. In
these exhibitions children can make their own wooden toys using
traditional methods.
